There he successfully operated a bakery alang with a wholesale confection- ery and tobacco business for 26 years. In 1918 the bakery was sold and new property was pur- chased that would more adequate- ly accommodate the increasing wholesale trade. The new site was known as the Crosby property and with the addition of modern im- provements over the past 34 years. the firm still continues in the same location today. This week marked the 60th an- niversary of the business estab- lishment of David Hill 8; Co. Ltd. in Richmond Hill.

He was a member of the town coun- cil and board of education for sev- eral years and served as chairman of the latter during the building of the present public school. He was a Past Master of Richmond Lodge and witnessed the initiation of all his sons, three of whom later became Past Masters of the same lodge, and the fourth son, Dr. Carl res E. Hill, Grand Superintendent Royal Arch Masons. Dr. Hill is the present M.O.H. of the township of North York and President of the Ontario College of Physicians and Sfirgeons. The history of David Hill & Co. Ltd.. is essentially a_ part of the history of Richmond Hill, since its founder believed in citizenship in itsvbroadest sense and encour- aged his family of one daughter and four sons to do likewise. lifetime. But owing to the sad and untimely death of Lloyd A. Hill in 1941, the firm continued under the joint ownership of Per- cy C. Hill and Albert R. Hill. Mr. E. Roblin who resides at 126 Hunt street took exception to two sections of the by-law. He objected to the part which rules out the commercial development of base- ment apartments. This ruling only applies to future development. Mr. Lucas said the section was primarily designed to stop people from using the basements of par- tially finished residences as homes. Mr. Roblin also thought permiss- ion should be granted to erect houses without any provision as Suggestions by Mr. Gordon for the setting up of an Adjustment Committee to handle any com- plaints regarding the by-law was blocked by Mr. Lucas who stated he doubted if the village, until it has an official plan, has the au- thority to set up an Adjusting Committee with power to alter the law. As an alternative he asked Mr. Gordon to refer his problem to the Planning Board. The Richmond Hill Council was represented at the hearing by De- puty-Reeve K. Tomlin an Coun- cillors F. Perkins and J. Ric . The Planning Board, architects of this new by-law, were represented by Chairman N. Todd, and members J. M. Brown and J. E. Teetzel. Village Clerk R, Lynett _was in attendance as was the Solicitor J. DiLucas. Messrs. G. A. Lister and C. F. Nunn represented the Municipal Board at the hearing, with Mr. Lister acting as chair- man of the meeting. Mr. E. C. Gordon, Solicitor, sta- ted, “I am satisfied with the prin- cipal of the by-law and its inten- tion, but it does contain several minor details which may be em- barrassing to my clients”. Mr. Gordon representing the W. J. Lawrence property containing 6 lots with 270 feet total frontage situated on the north side of the Markham sideroad and west of the railway wanted permission to cre- ate three lots with 45 feet front- ages instead of the regular 50 ft. frontages as required in the byâ€"law. As this property is covered by a registered plan for residential de- velopment taken out in 1911, the Municipal Board members felt Mr. Gordon shouldn’t have too much difficulty in having the matter set- tled to the mutual satisfaction of the village and his client. This temporary period of- appro- val extending from September 26 to December 1 of this year will give the village an opportunity to affect any' minor adjustments that may be required. In his opening remarks Mr. Lu- cas stated the proposed by-law has received general acceptance by the village populace. The village council by resolution has signified its intention of making one change in the by_1aw in so far as it effects how close you can build to the sideline of your property. Objections At a very sparsely attended pub- lic hearing held last Friday morn- ing in the Masonic Hall, Richmond Hill, the Ontario Municipal Board gave temporary approval to the village’s new land use by-law de- signed to regulate the use of land its character and location, and the use of buildings and structures. Municipal Board Grants Temporary Approval To R. H. Land Use By-Law David Hill 8: Co. Ltd., after 60 years service, looks forward to the future confident in the motto, “The best \i av to get business is to de- serve lt. " MI But realizing that the reputation of a firm depends not only on the stability of the executive but also on the loyalty of its employees, the executive, on this auspicious occasion, wish to pay tribute to the integrity of the staff headed by Ken Blanchard who has been an employee of the company for 34‘ years. They also welcome the first member of the third genera- tion, Harry D. L. Hill, who became associated with the firm following his graduation from the University of Toronto. Two sons, Lloyd and Carl, rep- resented the family in the first world war while two grandsons served in World War II. Percy C. and Albert R.

A letter from the Assistant Sol- icitor of the Hydro Electric Power Commission was filed by Mr. Lu- cas in which the commission ob- jected to part of section 15 which requires any power transmitting station must be erected at least 100' feet from a public highway. This section would not apply to say the building of a hydro office building. Temporary Approval Mr. Lucas requested the Board give interim approval to the by- law until such time as the amend- ing by-law is passed. In reply the Board granted a two month tem- porary approval to the by-1aw. During this period the Council will give any objections to it care- ful thought and study. Both the Council and the Planning Board signified their agreement with this arrangement. to the set.back from the- sidewalk. Mr. Roblin received little support from the Municipal Board in his presentation. Mr. Lister felt these sections were progressive moves in the right direction for the benefit of the whole commun- ity. Phone TUrner Mr. Lucas did inform the meet- ing that work on the new offices has been stopped. “Work was halted when I advised the Council of their mistake", stated the speak- er. Council C. Hooper reported about $300 has been spent so far on the excavations and cement foo- tings. Chairman Rowland â€"â€" “I dare say an excavation and cement footings cost more than $300." Those Attending Among those attending the meet- ing were former Deputy-Reeve D. Rumney and former Councillor B. Clark, both members of the 1951 Council; Trustee H. Coathup and D. Strickland of the Unionville Police village; Trustee A. Sumner of Thornhill Police village; Trustee Elmer Wilkins of School Area No. 1 Markham-Vaughan. Councillor A. LeMasurier stated he was never opposed to the prin- cipal of the need for new offices, just to the procedure. He then went on to verbally attack the manner in which the contract was let and work commenced before the holding of a public meeting. “The Council,” said Chairman Rowland, “can be criticized for starting the building before the financial arrangements were com- pleted." K. E. Deacon objected to the new site at Buttonville because it is three miles from any bank, post ofiice, or railway. A. L. Brown, Unionville, wanted to know why the Council was go- ing over to the 4th concession in- stead of trying to get a site in Unionville. Work on Bldg. Stopped J. G. Phillips, Unionville, also suggested a vote of the ratepay- ers be held before the building is proceeded with. (Continued from page 1) an estimated cost of 1 mill to the taxpayers. In opposing the new offices Mr. Rae attacked the situ- ation from a financial angle. Re- viewing the township's debenture debt as regards new schools at Highland Park, Markham Village' and Stoufiville village. he stated. “our taxes will go up 150% in 1953." “You are overlooking the Department of Education grant." reminded Mr. Rowland. Further as to township finances, the conten- tious ending in the recent Auditor's letter which was omitted when published. was reviewed by Mr. Rae. Chairman R. Rowland â€" “that statement is sent out by Chartered Accountants to every Municipality in Ontario." Mr. W. Champion, Unionville, also spoke out against the new of- fices and wanted a vote of the ratepayers to be taken on the mat- ter, “the Council has been too highanded", he stated. Markham Twp.

Phone us today. l. D. RA Last week, however, equipment became available to permanently increase the capacity of the sta- tion so a second unit was brought in and connected with the first. All the load was then transferred to the two mobile transformer station and the permanent stat- ion was taken out of service. Increasing the capacity of the station involves the replacing of the three transformers in the wire enclosure at the rear which few people know exist since they are hidden from view by the brick During Daylight Saving the peak is not so high because cook- ing and lighting loads do not oc- cur together and the station is quite capable of handling the load.

For the past two years a mobile unit has been brought in and has relieved the parent station dur. ing the winter. or heavy peak, season. Those of us in Richmond Hill who have travelled Yonge Street in the village during the past 10 days have noticed activity at the Hydro substation. Inquiries by the Liberal Staff have revealed the following facts: Owing to the rapid growth of the territory served by the stat- ion â€" the village, the surround- ing territory north to the Elgin Sideroad, east to the Don Mills Road. west to the Maple area and south to include Richvale, the station capacity has become lnv adequate to meet the demands.
